Answer:

£480

Step-by-step explanation:

we can multiply both terms of ratio with same number without changing the ratio.

Example

a:b = ax: bx (here we have multiplied both terms with x)\

Given

Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 3:5

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

3x = 120 + 5x

3x-5x = 120

=> -2x = 120

=> x= -120/2 = -60

As we see profit is negative , hence it cannot be solution.

It can be solved if Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 5:3

(note: in ratio , bigger number should have bigger term in ratio)

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

5x = 120 + 3x

5x-xx = 120

=> 2x = 120

=> x= x120/2 = 60

Profit for stevei = 5x =5*60 = 300

Profit for Michael = 3x = 3*60 = 180

Total profit for them together = 300 + 180 = 480 Answer.

Can someone help me write the equations and solve, please.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Number 11: She has to add 5/36 of a cup

Number 12: The present costs $22,2

Number 13: 56,7 pounds is the weight of the package.

Number 14: You started with 40 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Number 11</u>: 1/4 = 9/36  and 1/9 = 4/36

3*1/4  -  3*1/9  = 3*9/36  - 3*4/36  = 5/36

<u>Number 12:</u> 13,32/x= 3/5 ( or 0,6)

x = 13,32/0,6 = 22,2

<u>Number 13:</u> x * 5/7 = 40,5

x = 40,5/ (5/7) or 40,5 * 7/5 = 283,5/5 = 56,7

<u>Number 14:</u> 12/x = 3/10 (or 0,30)

x= 12/0,30 = 40

Question 5^ Need help ... ASAP ... your help is really appreciated ...
goblinko [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)

Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4=\frac{13}{4} and 11/4=\frac{11}{4}. Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio <em>3</em> to <em>1</em> from <em>C</em> to <em>D</em>. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

\frac{13}{4}*3 = \frac{39}{4}\\ 8-\frac{39}{4} =  \frac{-7}{4}\\\frac{11}{4}*3 = \frac{33}{4}  \\-2+\frac{33}{4} = \frac{25}{4}

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is (\frac{-7}{4}, \frac{25}{4}).

I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.

Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.
